Before you come:
Until 8th August you are encouraged to wear a face covering in church
(Please be mindful that some will choose not to wear a mask and others
are in one of the groups exempt from wearing one).
From 8th August wearing a face covering (unless you are exempt) becomes compulsory in places of worship
Face coverings are not a replacement for physical distancing and regular hand washing.'
Please stay away if you have COVID19 symptoms
(a continuous cough a high temperature or a loss of taste or smell).
We regret that if more people turn up than we have space to safely seat we may have to turn you away.
Toilets are limited to the accessible (disabled) toilet.
The equipment in the children's corner has been removed
Singing is not permitted
Sadly - we are unable to offer our usual refreshments
As you arrive:
If there is a short delay on entry, please observe social distancing and queue up the ramp (COR) or along the front path (St Andrew's).
Clean your hands with the hand sanitizer on entry.
There is nothing to collect on entry it is all on your seat.
The collecting plate will be at the back
Please fill up seats from the front of church.
Please do not move the chairs.
During the service:
At the peace we ask you to remain in your place and limit your movement
to turning to look at others without moving around.
At a Eucharist:
On the advice of the National Church Group, each communicant is encouraged to sanitise their hands before and after removing their face covering to receive the bread, and before and after putting it on again.
At the administration the priest will wear a face covering and a full face visor for your protection
as you will be closer to them than two metres.
As the administration of the bread begins the priest will say to all ‘The body of Christ’
and will not say it individually to you.
You may find it easier to take your wafer back to your seat and remove your face covering and replace it.
As you come to receive follow the blue arrows on the floor and keep 2 metres away from others waiting.
The priest will drop the wafer into your hand. (If either of you accidently touch each other’s hand then both should again sanitize their hands as soon as possible.)
Return to your seat using the route that avoids you having to pass people waiting to receive.
As you leave:
Let those nearer the back of church leave before you
Take all papers on your seat with you - it will save others having to handle them.
Clean your hands with the hand sanitizer as you leave.
